air cooled
Without liquid coolant
Air cooled describes engines or equipment designed to dissipate heat through exposure to moving air rather than circulating liquid coolant.
Air-cooled engines use fins to increase surface area: The old Volkswagen Beetle had an air-cooled engine.
The term applies to motorcycles, aircraft, and various machinery where simplicity or weight savings matter more than maximum cooling efficiency.
